Earlier this week, Audi organized a unique crowd-sourced creative event that was livestreamed around the world. Audi fans and enthusiasts were able to submit their personal stories of creativity, ingenuity, and courage on Twitter, Instagram, and other social media platforms with the Audi #PaidMyDues hashtag.

The event was hosted by comedian and television host Nikki Glaser and focused on the uncompromised nature of the new Audi A3. Dozens of creators were featured, including graffiti artists, songwriters and musicians, comic book artists, animators, and DJs. During the event, these artists recreated the most inspiring stories relevant to the uncompromised Audi A3 theme shared over social media.

The creative bonanza lasted for over 6 hours, after which creations were auctioned off for charity through eBay Giving Works. You can even check out some of them on Audi’s YouTube channel.

“Many people have overcome insurmountable odds to reach the top of their game,” said Loren Angelo, Director of Marketing, Audi of America. “This event will recognize those unsung heroes that embody the dauntless spirit of what it means to pay their dues and succeed, just as the all-new A3 refuses to compromise on top-level performance and luxury.”
